When one little one
is on your mind.
You know the feeling. A child you can't quite stop thinking about, and a quiet question of whether it's something or nothing. This is for exactly that moment.
If you're here, chances are we already know each other through the PMI community. So you'll know what I believe with my whole heart: educators notice more than anyone gives them credit for. You're with these children every single day. You see what a one off appointment never could.
This is a calm few minutes to gather what you're seeing and find the words to share it. No paperwork. No stepping into diagnosing, because that was never your job. Noticing is, and you are already brilliant at it.

This is for
The moment one child has been on your mind and you want to gather your thoughts before you say anything.
This isn't
A test, a score, a checklist for every child, or a diagnosis. You notice. The right people take it from there.
Pick only what stands out. Open the areas where something has caught your eye, and leave the rest closed. That is exactly right.
Tap what fits. No long forms. Tap what you're seeing and add a note in your own words if you'd like.
Leave with the words. You'll get gentle wording for a chat with the family, plus a summary you can print.
About three minutes. You can stop any time.
Every noticing stays on this device. Nothing about a child is ever sent anywhere. We suggest a child's first name or initials only.
Who are we noticing?
Just enough to keep your notes straight. Two taps and you're in.
Where has your eye landed?
Open only the areas where something stands out for this child. Most of the time that's one or two. Leaving the rest closed is exactly right.
Open an area above to begin.
Here's the picture so far
A plain read back of your noticing, and some gentle words for what comes next.
Talking with the family
You don't need to have answers. You're noticing together, and that's all.
Pointing the way
If the family would like to look more closely, you can suggest a warm next step:
- A chat with their GP or child and family health nurse
- Sharing these notes to help that conversation along
- Letting them know support can start early, with no diagnosis needed

Look what you just did.
You turned a quiet worry into something real and shareable. That's the hardest part, and you just did it.
